Dawn Grant, National Programme Lead: Support Worker Development, NHS England Workforce, Training and Education

A nurse of many years, I now work freelance leading on a variety of projects for the non- registered staff group. Support Staff underpin our health systems and are hugely integral to the smooth running of services. Raising the profile and the contribution of the Support Worker role is a key element in an ever changing Health & Care system - one I'm proud to work in. Central to this is the belief that learning helps the individual be the best they can be with the appropriate signposting, support and direction. I am currently working with NHS England Workforce, Training and Education. Leading on the Care Certificate , partnership & engagement for the Higher Development Award and the Support Worker Voice.
